The Siegel–Schwall Reunion Concert is an album by the Siegel–Schwall Band. It was recorded live in 1987, and released by Alligator Records in 1988.

Contents

The Siegel–Schwall Band formed in Chicago in 1964. After a few years of playing locally, they became a national touring act, and stayed together until 1974, releasing ten albums. In 1987, they got back together and performed a reunion concert at the Vic Theatre in Chicago. The concert was broadcast live on radio station WXRT-FM. The Siegel–Schwall Reunion Concert consists of selections from that concert.

Since the reunion concert, the Siegel–Schwall Band has performed live on an occasional basis. In 2005 they released a new album of all original material called Flash Forward.
